The cleanup after this show was somewhat lengthy.

The heavy gold ingots brought for the showmanship had to be loaded back onto the plane under the escort of Philippine police, and I couldn’t fully let go of my tension until they were safely inside the bank’s thick vault.

When assets were materialized, even if it was gold, the sheer volume was enormous, making it truly a monumental task.

More than anything, perhaps because of the gamble involving all my assets, my hands were trembling strangely, so I had to postpone my dinner appointment to lunch the following day.

The appointment I had made was to interact with a deeply rooted Filipino political family who had attended as spectators.

Since the matter was successfully concluded as planned, they said they definitely wanted to have a final discussion, so we ended up chatting together like family about what happened behind the scenes.

I had Woo Miae, who was fluent in English, act as an interpreter, and we conversed, mostly receiving praise that it was “interesting.”

They marveled, saying they never imagined I would go so far as to pull off such a crazy stunt without any tricks, and simultaneously praised me, saying they felt refreshed as if an annoying bug had been crushed and killed.

They truly praised me until their lips were dry.

I simply accepted it with a smile and my limited English.

Of course, I know it all.

That the other party was a government whose reputation wasn’t particularly good within their own country.

‘All roads lead to Rome.’

However, it didn’t matter whether they were criticized as a corrupt cabinet in their own country. To me, anyone who helps me is a friend I can rely on.

“So, Young Master, what kind of deal did you make with them?”

“Hm?”

After finishing the pleasant lunch, we returned to the casino hotel.

While I was thinking if there was anything else I had missed, Woo Miae questioned me.

“Didn’t I even interpret? No matter how I look at it, ‘that person’s’ favor this time doesn’t seem to be free. They escorted so many police officers and safely delivered even the gold, enough to make one drool, all the way to the end… It seems obvious that a backroom deal was made, doesn’t it?”

“Uh, yeah, that’s right.”

I admitted it frankly.

Then, with my tired body, I leaned my head back until I was sprawled on the sofa,

“The ownership of the Philippine casino I won from this gamble, I decided to hand it over to them.”

“What!?”

“To be precise, the shares I’m supposed to gain are slated to be sold to them. I’ll just receive money under the table, and it’ll proceed as if Victor transferred it to their associate? If you consider it, I probably won’t even get the full amount. We promised 80% under the table, but if it drags on and I get even 60%, that’d be a thank you.”

“Th-then what is it? Isn’t Young Master doing business at a complete loss?”

“Financially, yes, I’ll take a loss. But even so,”

I lifted my head again.

To Woo Miae, who wore an expression of unfairness, I calmly conveyed.

“No matter how close we became through lobbying, they couldn’t possibly entrust their domestic casino business, which is considered a Southeast Asian national project, to a foreigner, could they?”

“……”

“Instead, I negotiated to completely acquire the shares in Singapore and Hong Kong as per my original intention. As for the Philippines, I’ll just have to be content with receiving good treatment when I visit sometimes.”

“Isn’t that being overly generous to someone who just watched without any risk?”

“It means the cleanup and final processing will be that much more certain, won’t it?”

“Processing…?”

Since the matter has been concluded, now I have to squeeze out the promised compensation.

Since I’m going to suck it dry anyway, to extract it properly, a certain level of ‘motivation’ is required for the partner too.

“If you think about it, it’s not visible chips, and it’s ambiguous since stakes like shares or documents were wagered. Since it’s hard to prove that such intangible assets were won through gambling, what else can be done?”

“Well…”

“For your reference, this is assuming we somewhat disregard the law and use all sorts of tricks.”

“……! Y-you don’t mean after imprisoning or fabricating documents to finish it—”

At that point, I nodded, giving a signal.

I finished the rest of her sentence for her.

“Once all the skin and meat are stripped away, the bones will be discarded without a trace.”

Grinning.

“That’s why an expert like this is needed for dismantling. If they secretly wield the highest power in this country, they’ll quietly handle all the dismantling work.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Since that idiot Victor foolishly fired first, we’ve perfectly secured a justification to hold him, so there’ll be nothing to stop us now, right? He’s probably already deep underground by now. From their perspective, he’s just like a piggy bank that spits out money when hit, so they’re probably already working on making him spill everything.”

Woo Miae seemed to be doing calculations in her head.

Then, she nodded, as if acknowledging that it certainly made sense.

Even if it was wagered in a gamble, if such an absurd amount had to be proven, it would lead to legal disputes.

If he were to just lie down and refuse to cooperate, it would drag on and become problematic.

In other words, the closest method is a fist closer than the law.

“So, Young Master… you entered a gamble where you would lose money even if you won a share.”

“Anyway, the chances of winning were high, weren’t they?”

“Hoo… even so, putting up all your assets as collateral was dangerous. I knew you were planning something under orders, but I truly thought my heart would drop.”

This time, as if her surprise was a bit more extreme, Woo Miae clutched her chest.

Then she fell deep in thought,

“……? W-wait! Then what about Cha Soeun, Young Lady?! She… she put up her company as a stake, didn’t she?”

“Ah~ I didn’t tell you the story behind Soeun, did I?”

It seems she doesn’t know much about Soeun, who disappeared during the casino cleanup.

I scratched my head with tired eyes, then dragged my phone across the hotel table and launched an app.

An app connected to a real-time camera.

“She’s right here. Can you see her clearly?”

“!!!”

Woo Miae gasped as soon as she saw the phone.

She opened her mouth into a perfect circle in astonishment, at the camera screen showing a dark prison view.

『Oppa!? Just now, that was you, right? Right?』

It was my younger sister, imprisoned somewhere underground.

My sister was still in the clothes she wore yesterday, and had been confined there ever since.

The reason was nothing else but that she had lost in the gamble where everything was at stake.

“Young Master, did you… imprison the Young Lady… your younger sister?”

“Yeah. For your information, only my voice goes through, like a home cam for pets, so you don’t need to worry.”

“No, that’s not what I meant… Is this really okay?”

“No problem. It’s simply ‘Oppa’s’ discipline, after all.”

『Oppa, you’re listening, aren’t you?!』

Because I had taken the phone away from my ear to look at the screen, only a muffled sound was audible, the desperate voice from the other side.

『I was wrong! Oppa, please, Oppa, it’s too dark in here! And I haven’t been able to wash since I was dragged here, please! You’re listening, aren’t you?!』

My sister pleaded desperately, but I just turned it off, amidst the noisy cavernous echoes of the underground prison.

After that, I informed Miae, who was still gaping with her mouth wide open as if a fly could enter.

“There’s nothing I can do. As you know, my sister is completely hopeless. What would happen if she were released?”

“Well… she wouldn’t stay quiet, would she?”

“She’d probably go ballistic. She’d argue that the gamble was a joke or that it was absurd.”

“……! Young Master, you plan to seize the Young Lady’s company while she’s incapacitated…”

Perhaps because we’ve worked together for so long, Woo Miae now understood me perfectly with a mere glance.

Although winning the gamble gives me the justification to seize the company, by the logic of competition, the world doesn’t work that simply.

Winning a company through gambling itself is nonsensical, and it creates many points of contention.

Moreover, since overseas gambling is prohibited in our country, it would naturally be invalidated.

Unlike Victor, a local citizen who can be treated roughly because he’s connected to this country’s head, my sister is clearly a citizen of the Republic of Korea.

If she’s released, my sister would 100% spout other nonsense, or, with inverted logic and mutually assured destruction, she could expose me domestically for overseas gambling.

In other words, it would just be like boiling rice porridge only to give it to a dog, meaning all my efforts would be wasted.

Instead, I can simply use this as a card to restrain my sister.

From now on, to prevent her from going anywhere else, just keeping her firmly detained in this country and making her live silently can be converted into a great profit.

“At this point, it’s imprisonment and kidnapping… If a report is filed, would Korea stay quiet?”

“No matter what, the place where her feet are tied is the Philippines, isn’t it? If we say she had an accident, or if the local police are uncooperative, what will they do? More than that, the police boss went back quite satisfied after I secretly gave him a gold ingot yesterday.”

All worries will be resolved if she’s detained in the Philippines.

Until I’ve sucked all the sweet juice out of Victor, the power holders of this country will be extremely favorable to me.

Ironically, the poor public safety in this country actually lends credibility to Cha Soeun’s disappearance.

“Everything… is according to Young Master’s plan.”

“Considering the difference in capital, I didn’t realize I’d need this much gold. It’s a good thing I prepared plenty of dollars too.”

After letting out a slight sigh of relief,

“Anyway, there won’t be any shareholders or loyal employees who would bother looking for Cha Soeun, who has already messed up the company’s internal affairs. On the contrary, I can gain Hwaryeon noona’s support, and if I, who is currently boosting the stock price rapidly, swallow it whole, they’d immediately approve, wouldn’t they?”

“That’s true. Young Lady Soeun was so out of control that Young Lady Hwaryeon would look like a fairy in comparison.”

“Why are you like this? Are you scared because the plan is so wild, not even following the law properly?”

“……No, I’m just organizing my thoughts.”

Woo Miae was serious.

But soon, as if she understood everything, a faint, light smile played on her lips.

“I’m impressed, Young Master. Now, the way you use money and ruthless methods has become truly terrifying.”

“…Are you being sarcastic?”

“Quite the opposite. Rather, the fact that you pulled off something like this… is extremely thrilling to me…♥”

Woo Miae trembled slightly, as if excited.

Perhaps because she liked such a show, as she rubbed her thighs together under her suit and approached, I, too, raised the corners of my lips in amusement, despite myself.

“Well… I promised, didn’t I? That I’d keep showing you more interesting things.”

“This time, I really worried you might lose, my liver was trembling so much that it was a problem. …Truly♥”

Saying that, she subtly climbed onto my sofa.

Her red high heels dropped with a soft thud onto the carpeted floor, and she wrapped her arms around my neck, whispering.

“Now, Young Master’s executive ability is becoming terrifying.”

Woo Miae, who once said she was attracted when I, who used to be a scoundrel, worked properly.

As the work succeeded, she seemed aroused, moving her lower body and exciting me.

I firmly grabbed her wicked buttocks, which were rubbing against my cock and making it erect, and replied.

“So, are you going to give it to me once now?”

“Hehe, are you only going to use me once?”

As if her switch had been truly flipped, Woo Miae licked her lips and removed her shirt.

As she abruptly revealed her breasts, I licked them once and held her tightly, then made a request.

“If you’re giving me a reward, could you give it to me more properly?”

“Mmmph…♥ What is it?”

“Let me ‘take’ you as a bunny girl one more time, like before.”

“……”

Woo Miae slightly cooled down at that.

Then she sighed, as if she had no choice.

Twisting her body shyly, she replied with a slightly flushed expression.

“First… if you please me once, I’ll order room service…♥”

“I’ve stirred Miae’s insides every chance I got, do you think I can’t do just that?”

“……♥”

I kissed my subordinate, who smiled naughtily.

As if celebrating our sweet victory together, we entangled our tongues and got intoxicated.

‘It looks like it’ll take quite some time for my sister to become useful in various ways.’

Even as I intertwined tongues with Miae, my sister’s screams from earlier came to mind, but I casually dismissed them.

If Hwaryeon noona is at least in the ranks of normal people, then Cha Soeun is currently nothing short of nuclear waste.

Although Hwaryeon noona was barely given leniency with a naked dogeza, this is the chance to correct Soeun, who is currently not in her right mind.

Knowing that she wouldn’t be fixed by simply being coddled, I plan to thoroughly reconstruct her, as if completely overhauling her.

“Ungh, ahh…♥ Young Master, that’s unfair…♥”

Therefore, for now, I’ll just enjoy myself.

As if desiring the true reward of gambling victory, I immediately mounted my closest right-hand woman’s body and played roughly.

Additionally, naturally, the bunny girl was immediately ordered via phone.
